Notes:
‐A client coaching hour is 60 minutes of actual coaching with someone who has hired you as a coach
and not in any other capacity.
‐Paid hours are any hours for which any kind or amount of compensation, including barter, is
received.
‐Only 10 percent of the minimum hours needed to qualify for the ICF Credential can be Pro‐Bono
hours, including complimentary sessions.
‐Teaching coaching classes does not count as client‐coaching hours.
On your coaching log, include the following information for each client:
‐Client name(s)
‐Contact information
‐Dates of coaching relationship
‐Total hours in coaching relationship, paid and pro bono
‐In order to count as client‐coaching hours, a coaching group can have no more than 15 clients as
participants.
‐One hour of group coaching counts as one client‐coaching hour, not the number of hours multiplied
by the number of clients in the group.
Group Coaching
‐ In order to count as client‐coaching hours, a coaching group can have no more than 15 clients as
participants.
‐Group coaching shall be documented listing the group name, number of group participants and full
contact information for one person, who shall represent the group.
contact information for one person who shall represent the group
‐One hour of group coaching counts as one client‐coaching hour, not the number of hours multiplied
by the number of clients in the group.
Internal or Third Party
‐If coaching is paid for by a third party or done as part of the coach's employment, it counts as paid
coaching. Internal coaching hours count as paid hours toward an ICF Credential when coaching is a
designated part of the applicant's job description. Coaching of a direct report (your boss) may not be
considered in the coaching hours.
If the organization or third party has a confidentiality policy that prevents disclosure of individual
names and contact information, applications should document the hours with the organization as
follows:
1) list the organization/third party name with total number of coaching hours.
2) Select one contact person at the organization/third party and list their full name and contact in the
log. The contact person should be someone familiar with your work, who can verify that the number
of hours presented in the log is an accurate reflection of your coaching experience with the
organization.
3) The contact person should provide you with a letter of reference testifying to the information in
the log, explaining your role with the organization, and the organization's confidentiality policy.
4) Illustrate your work with individuals at the organization by assigning aliases for each individual (i.e.
Client "A", Client "B", etc.)
